TODAY'S FLOWERS - Winter cheer

Even in the midst of anAntarctic blast

chilling us to the bone

Mother Nature gives us the joy

of the Flinders Ranges Wattle, Acacia iteaphylla,

to brighten our day.

SkyWatch - A Solstice rainbow

Back from the desert to the cold, cold, cold of the farm

the nights were cold in the desert too, but it was a dry cold

with incredibly clear skies

where the milky way was visible

from horizon to horizon

the pot of gold, or opals

at the other end

a heartwarming Solstice fire as the temperature

started dropping

and a rum toddy may have been

more fitting than our, none the less enjoyable G&T

while the sun slipped gently down into the red soil

Pure enjoyment, what a life!
